Reasoning of missing number in box problems in Uniteted State

PROBLEM # 1

Formula

Every row has been written as the cube of certain number. Because 4096 is the cube of 18, 6859 is the cube of 19 , 8000 is the cube of 20 similarly 926? will also be the cube of any number. Look carefully 1st row is the cube of 18, then 2nd row is the cube of 19, 3rd row is the cube of 20 . So in this way 4th row must be the cube of 21.

Calculation

18³ = 4096

19³ = 6859

20³ = 8000

21³ = 9261

Hence value of question mark will be 1.

Option (D)1 is correct option.

PROBLEM # 2

Formula

Multiply the number in 2nd row with 100 and add it to the product of numbers in 1st and 2nd rows.

Calculation

6*100 + (4*8) = 632

3*100 + (9*2) = 318

7*100 + (5*9) = 745

Option (A)745 is correct option.

Missing number in box Reasoning problem,

This reasoning problem consists of three figures and every figure have three numbers associated to it . Two numbers are on the upper line of each box and one number is at the bottom of the dark box. Look at last figure , it have ? in its centre . So the solution of this problem is to find the value of question mark using two numbers associated to it .

But the main problem is how to utilised these two numbers to get the value of question mark?

Now watch carefully the 1st two figures . Since these figures have some values of numbers in dark box .

Now we have to find or search the formula for these three numbers in each figure to utilised them in any possible way to get number in dark box .

The same formula will be applicable to third figure to find out the value of question mark.

Formula :- The DIFFERENCE of squares of both the numbers in empty box in upper line in every figure is equal to number in dark box in lower line.

Solution:-

9² - 6² = 81 - 36 = 45 (1st Figure)

8² - 2² = 64 - 4 = 60 (2nd Figure)

7² - 3² = 49 - 9 = 40 (3rd Figure)

Option (1)40 is correct option.

PROBLEM # 4

But the main aim is how to utilised these two numbers to get the value of question mark?

Now watch carefully the 1st two figures . Since these figures have some values of numbers in dark box .

Now we have to find or search the formula for these three numbers in each figure to utilised them in any possible way to get number in dark box .

The same formula will be applicable to third figure to find out the value of question mark.

Formula :- The SUM of squares of both the numbers in empty box in upper line in every figure is equal to number in dark box in lower line.

Solution:-

9² + 6² = 81 + 36 = 117 (1st Figure)

8² + 2² = 64 + 4 = 68 (2nd Figure)

7² + 3² = 49 + 9 = 58 (3rd Figure)

Option (1)58 is correct option

PROBLEM # 5

This figure consist of four squares around one big square. Look carefully in this big square every number in it is perfect cube. And if we multiply the square roots of two adjacent numbers then we shall have the number attached to big square between these two numbers whose square root had been multiplied.

√49 × √4 = 7 × 2 = 14 (The number at bottom line in the box)

√4 × √36 = 2 × 6 = 12 ( The number at leftmost box )

√36 × √? = 6 × √? = 30 ( The number at uppermost box )

√? = 30/6 = 5, squaring both sides

? = 25 ( The number at uppermost box)

Similarly

√? × √49 = 35

√? = 35/7

√? = 5, squaring both sides

? = 25 (The number at rightmost box )

Option (A)25 is correct option

PROBLEM # 6

∛343 × ∛27 = 7 × 3 = 21( The number at rightmost box )

∛27 × ∛125 = 3 × 5 = 15 (The number at bottom line in the box)

∛125 × ∛? = 5 × ∛? = 10 ( The number at leftmost box )

5 × ∛? = 10

∛? = 10/5

∛? = 2 , cubing both sides

? = 8

Similarly

∛? × ∛343 = ∛? × 7 = 14

∛? = 14/7 = 2 cubing both sides

? = 8 ( The number at uppermost box )

Option (C)8 is correct option

PROBLEM # 7

This reasoning problem have two figures and every figure have five number attached to it . Four numbers are at the corner of each figure and one number is at the middle of the same figure.

Since second figure have question mark in its centre . So the solution of this problem is to find the value of question mark using four numbers associated to it .

But the main problem is how to utilised these four numbers to get the value of this question mark?

Now watch carefully the 1st two figures . since these figures have some values of middle numbers.

Now we have to find or search the formula for these four numbers in each figure to utilised them in any possible way to get middle or central number.

The same formula will be applicable to third figure to find out the value of question mark.

Formula:- Add all the numbers in the corner of each figure to get value of the number in the middle.

Solution:-

√4 + √16 + √9 + √25 + √4 = 2 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 14 (Middle number in 1st figure).

√9 + √49 + √36 + √36 + √1 = 3 + 7 + 6 + 1 = 17 (Middle number in 1st figure).

Option (3)17 is correct option
